The Magnitude of Middle School
In 6th-8th grade, students are developing habits of mind and solidifying their attitudes toward school. Given that crucial reality, our Middle School fosters our students' love of learning as they build strong academic and social skills. Lessons are lively and engaging, built around
critical thinking and discussion, collaboration with peers, and projects that inspire active exploration of real-world challenges and problems.
The
city is our classroom – and students learn through frequent field trips and guided experiences in the world outside Burke. Our 1:1 tablet program enhances learning, researching, and presenting and helps teach
21st century skills, such as digital and media literacy, design thinking, and global connectivity.
